This was cruise number 8 for us. Our cruise partners - their 5th. This time we brought 4 girls with us (ages 8,9,11 & 12).
We arrived a day early for to LA. We used the tips on the boards for Priceline at the Crown Plaza. Very nice hotel, great service and provides free morning shuttle to the Ship.
Embarkation - painless and timely. On the Ship by 12:30pm. Ship is very good condition despite the number of posts online. No major signs of age found in common areas and our cabin has no issues. Observed constant maintenance being performed, especially on port days.
